The Best Attorney I have ever encountered.

Joe Schreiber and his firm took on my case when a moving company committed fraud by changing the contract during the move and holding my property. Joe was responsive and got us a good result – he sued the company and got our money back quickly. It was a small case but helped me and my family a lot. ...Joe is an awesome attorney and I am very appreciative of the work in put for my family. If you ever need an attorney to get the job done do not hesitate to contact Joe and his firm.

Sensitive Situation

I found myself in a bad situation with a group that I will call the Big Boys. Big Boys that could clearly out lawyer me. I met with one attorney and he had a conflict and could not help me. This attorney referred me to Joseph. He told me I would be in "Good Hands" with Joe. I met with Joe and he t...ook notes. Afterwards, he warned me about the repercussions I could face. I still have to do business with these Big Boys. I was scared to death but payed the $7500.00 which was a lot of money to me. Joe took on the case with a personal agenda vengeance. The letter he wrote got their attention. He talked to their litigator and Joe did not back off. After a few calls, we all had a settlement call. I received a $$$,$$$.00 check. Joe is sensible. So I would recommend hiring him to anyone. Listen to what he tells you. You may not like it but that is what makes him good. Joe refunded me my retainer balance, since he did not use it all. How many attorneys are that honest. Be smart. Joe does do law right. As I stated, I still have to do business with these Big Boys and they are scared of my attorney... :)

Humanizing the complexities of Personal Injury and Employment Law

Joe Schreiber and Erik are, hands-down, the real deal. Together they provide a high-touch, humanized approach in handling cases of all shapes and sizes. They know what it means to listen to their clients and to empathize, always offering incredibly wise counsel and approaches while advocating for the... best possible (and just!) resolution. Joe has personally represented me on a variety of matters. He is an incredibly gifted writer - a skill that is absolutely critical and yet most often overlooked when people are seeking out an attorney. More importantly, he has humanized what can often be a daunting and hard-to-trust industry. He knows how and when to passionately apply the law for the good of his clients and those they love. People need attorneys who not only get results but who practice their craft with the utmost integrity, passion, and care. Whatever your case or question - Call Joe and Erick - they will get the job done - and get it done right.

A Great Find

After being injured in a car crash, I tried to negotiate with the insurance company on my own. The settlement offer was ridiculously low and they didn’t even attempt to negotiate. After much research and my initial consultation, I hired Joe to handle my personal injury claim. Not only is Joe an ex...perienced attorney, he is friendly and personable. He kept me informed as my case progressed and worked hard to negotiate the best settlement with the insurance company while keeping expenses down where possible. I am very pleased with the outcome of my case. If you need help with a personal injury claim, I highly recommend you talk to Joe first.

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
